One Handed Games

[Wintermoot]

assuming you have big hand,s you can play GBC and GBA games (assuming you have a GBA SP) I would recommend stuff like pokemon since it doesn't require that much action.

Become a Tetris savant.

So long story short. I broke my right (dominant) arm.

Does anyone have any suggestions for games I can play with just my left hand?

Obviously strategy and dome turn based roleplaying would be high on that list.

Civ5 has been getting a workout, but looking for something more.

Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball can be played one handed

Heh... I pity the man that plays that game with two hands.
I suggest games like Fire Emblem or Advanced Wars, mostly strategy games, or you could play pronz games.
Is it the hand you do everything with? Because if you do absolutely everything with it, you're going to have some really awkward pronz until it mends... I find it so weird to try and use my other hand for 'that'

Oh, god... expect jokes. I think you know what jokes.

You need two hands for that.

Think about it.

OT: tower defense games, adventure games, puzzle games.

Your avatar fits my reaction perfectly.

I'm sorry. Someone had to make the joke.

Get a NES emulator with a built in speedhack and play FF1. The speedhack is necessary because just little animations (like a chatbox or something) take 1-2 seconds just to come up. I, personally, like to play it on my hacked PSP.

Fire emblem man, Fire emblem.

Bejweled.
Old turnbased RPG's like Final Fantasy work too.

If you've got access to an N64, GoldenEye can be played adequately with one hand (though it's kind of a pain to open doors and look up/down). I remember because I used to play it at a friend's house all the time while eating popsicles.

I have a thought! If you manage to master playing God of War (which essentially uses every single button on the controller) one-handed, you're going to be an Internet sensation! If that doesn't sound all that tempting, I'd suggest the Heroes of Might and Magic games, particularly #3. Turn-based strategy games, essentially controlled entirely by mouuse.

You could be the singer in Rockband?

 

[Artemis923]

I'd suggest the Heroes of Might and Magic games, particularly #3.

Thank Khorne I wasn't the first to suggest this...

Heroes is what you should be playing one handed. Anything else is wrong.

Braid. WASD, space, shift. It works well.

 

[Seabear]

KINEC- oh wait.

plenty of flash games on Newgrounds etc that usually only require mouse or simple keyboard?

Sent you a PM, might help. Hope your arm gets better soon.

I've been utterly obsessed recently with Gemcraft Labyrinth, to the point where I might pay for the premium content of a flash game!

It's a tower defense game, but so well done, and with so much content, it's huge and well made and just fun.

Porn games work...
What? They're obviously designed for playing with one hand!
(First one to actually make the joke)

You must be very proud.

Dragon Quest 8 has controls for one hand (and the left one)

I've just had an idea. If someone made a mouse with WASD keys on the top of it...

Fifa 11..
Microsoft Fligh simulator..
Tekken..


pong...

Most excellent thanks. I'm going to repost it here because there is no reason why everyone else shouldn't share in this great info.

Supermeat Boy is entirely played with one hand unless of course your weird.

Here's a quick list I put together...

XCOM is here. Safe download, no need to mess around with DOSBox, tested it myself.

The Spirit Engine 2, an indie RPG that recently turned free.

Final Fantasy 6: Needs no explanation

Chrono Trigger: Likewise

Terranigma: Accidentally included. While it does have one of the best stories I've seen in a game to date, it's also an action RPG. Sorry.

Rudra No Hihou/Treasure of the Rudras.

Nethack: You know this already.

Crawl: A rather odd roguelike that emphasizes skills, not grinding, not selling/hoarding, and is a bit simpler/fairer than Nethack. Still great. Very neat magic.

ADOM: Hates you. Hates you so much. Possibly the hardest roguelike around.

Incursion: A relatively merciful, very interesting D&D-based roguelike. Sadly partly unfinished.

Let me know if the games don't work/are boring/you don't know how to use emulators/you run out of games/whathaveyou.

P.S.: I also recommend Planescape: Torment and Arcanum, as well as the Etrian Odyssey series. That said, Arcanum is hard to find, and I can't afford it off GoG at the moment.

A few more recommendations: Etrian Odyssey for the DS, some rather good, if vicious dungeon crawlers with fantastic customization.
Age of Wonders 2: Wizard's Throne is a fun if poorly balanced TBS
Heroes Of Might And Magic 3 is fairly good too - I'd also be up for multiplayer of the former if you like.

Sorry about the wall of text, hope it helped. Get well soon!

Thanks again dude.
